Abstract:
A scalar field generalization of Xanthopoulos's cylindrically symmetric solutions of the vacuum Einstein equation is obtained. The obtained solution preserves the properties of the Xanthopoulos solution, which are regular on the axis, asymptotically flat and free from the curvature singularities. The solution describes stable, infinite length of rotating cosmic string interacting with gravitational and scalar waves.
